Yeah that's fair -- maybe just focusing on becoming an expert in data and ML engineering in the long-run is a more prudent career choice than totally dropping those for another corner of engineering.

Don’t take it as discouragement from being a generalist, in er… general.

Right now the future is ML, not learning the intricacies of the 2022 tech stack.

Heck, I’m an automation enthusiast, but if that’s my only trick and I’m good at it, I’m out of work like next week ;)
